Attribution of Reductions in Fund’s Holdings of Currencies

1. (a) Subject to paragraphs (b), (c) and (e) below a member shall be free to attribute a reduction in the Fund’s holdings of its currency (i) to any obligation to repurchase, and (ii) to enlarge its reserve tranche.

(b) For a member with overdue repurchase obligations, the reduction shall be attributed to any obligation to repurchase.

(c) Repurchases of credit outstanding under the Short-Term Liquidity Line (SLL) shall be attributed to the first maturing repurchase obligation under the SLL.

(d) [Repealed]

(e) A reduction resulting from a repurchase made pursuant to a repurchase expectation under paragraph 10(a) of Decision No. 4377-(74/114) shall be attributed to the member’s repurchase obligation arising from the same purchase three years after the original date on which that repurchase expectation was to be met.

2. A reduction attributed to a reserve tranche position will not discharge an expectation of repurchase under the Guidelines for Early Repurchase.

3. If the member when asked does not make an attribution in accordance with 1 above, it will be deemed to be discharging the first maturing repurchase obligation.
